      Verdict

      NOAH AMOR mopped up three sellers for Middleham Park Racing and Richard Fahey before moving on to new owners and trainer following an easy success in a Thirsk seller. He does look above that grade and it's no surprise to see new handler David O'Meara pitch him into open handicap company. Patrick Vaughan claims a handy 7lb and the son of Kodiac is taken to maintain his winning run with a fourth success this season. Jack Luey and Bronze Beau have both reached double figures but the ten-year-olds remain full of enthusiasm for the sprinting game and, preferred in that order, represent the prime threats. One Boy is also considered as he drops to an easier grade compared to his last two assignments.
